FSG are not shit

[ngogswilly]

We've definitely spent money under them but we've recouped a lot too. Coupled with increased revenues from all sorts of sources and we should be seeing a even a little bit more from them.

 

Biggest problem though is there daft moneyball strategy they brought which I'm sure some form of is still dictating our transfer business.

[clangers]

We almost won the title in that 7 years and to be fair, spent shed loads of cash on mid-average players.     

 

They haven't spent shed loads, the club not FSG has a net spend (I know not net spend) of around £145 million over the course of six and a half years. A decent amount yes but not mind blowing. Much of the expenditure, roughly around half has come from profit on player sales.

 

No doubt even with the available funds we've made extremely poor use of them which explains why Klopp is operating with such a limited squad and is effectively spending the first two years of his reign housekeeping.

Our net transfer spend over the past three seasons is £73m, fifth highest behind Man City, Man U, Arsenal and West Ham.

So, in six and a half years, about the same as they get for TV rights in one year.

They got the club for a steal, don't understand the game or this club. Getting away with giving the bare minimum while reaping the rewards. Klopp will do nothing of significance here with them as owners. Hope he wasn't duped but in a way I hope he was because he cannot turn these players into stars and it will take him 20 transfer windows at our current rate. The fans won't put up with it but there is always someone to buy a ticket. Or pay upfront for an ST. It's Groundhog Day.

They need to sell up and the new owners must have ambition or it will CL every 10 years for a season and the odd Cup each decade. Fuck off FSG.

Yep, they can fuck off and stick to American sports, the know nothing money grabbing cunts.

Does anyone have an original thought around here? This is literally a carbon copy of every single post on the last 5 pages.

Why is that? Wasn't it you who spoke about there being repercussions if we didn't get a result (which we didn't get)?

[SlugTrail]

its not the amount of money we spend, its the quality of the player that we spend it on. it didnt help that Rodgers was at war with the transfer committee whereas Klopp seems to have embraced them.

Yeah it was. And I hope there is and soon. I will gladly not go and tell my lad the same to get this lot out. What is your opinion on the situation ?

Been my original thought for a while, even when we were winning. The squads depth and class was always going to tell in the long run. That OK ?

He won't give a shit. Money's coming in, happy days.

His missus tweets more about us than that wanker.

Indeed, sad times.

Yep, they can fuck off and stick to American sports, the know nothing money grabbing cunts. 

 

Why do they have to know the ins and outs of a given sport?

 

We like to trot out the Shankly quote about Directors only being their to sign the cheques but the minute we get our arses in our hands over a poor run they need to be experts in football?

I don't think there will be riots any day soon.

We'll win a few and the mood-o-meter will be on the up turn again.

It would help if they did, they clearly see us as a cash cow and nothing else. I'll repeat my opinion again. The know nothing cunts can fuck off. 

[Jairzinho]

I don't think it would change much if they knew more about the sport. First and foremost they are cunts.

True, I'm on about knowing the whole package though, what winning trophies bring to both the club and its fans. They don#t get this football lark and what it entails beyond money.

Yes, there is a way we can both win but it would require them to ditch all the cleverer than you shite and to take marginally more financial risks. They don't need to do either, sadly.

Because the concept of winning is so much different in other sports, football is that unique?

I'm sure Abramovich and Sheikh Mansour could tell you all about the intricacies of using the 4-2-3-1 as opposed to the

4-3-3.

Who said there would be ? Repercussions have already begun, as usual. Twitter bollocks and most of us venting on here. It won't get put up with forever. Another uneventful transfer window should see to that? Fan power helped to remove the last lot that nearly had us in administration.

 

Genuine question as I only heard snippets about some leaks the other day regarding FSG being happy for us to go into admin. Is that true ?
